ALBANY — The trial of a city teen accused of murder in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Tyler Rhodes has been adjourned until June 11, according to the district attorney's office.

The defense attorney for Jah-Lah Vanderhorst was granted a motion to have the trial delayed, Cecilia Logue, a spokeswoman from the district attorney's office, said. The trial was scheduled to begin Monday.

Logue would not say whether both sides are considering a plea.

Vanderhorst, 17, is charged with second-degree murder. Police say he stabbed Rhodes in the heart after an argument April 30 in Hoffman Park.

The incident was captured on a cellphone video.

That footage was crucial evidence in the February conviction of Dhoruba Shuaib, who was found guilty of manslaughter for restricting Rhodes' movements during the fight.

Shuaib, 19, will be sentenced March 15 to 5 to 25 years in prison. Jurors cleared Shuaib of second-degree murder.

Vanderhorst faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. He is being represented by Matthew Alpern.
